Laser Safety
Notes
STOP AND READ ALL THE LASER SAFETY NOTES BELOW
Laser l
ight is different from any other light sources. The light from this product can
potentially cause eye injury if the product is
not set up and used properly. Laser light is
thousands of times more concentrated than light from any other kind of light source. This
concentration of light can cause instant eye injuries, primarily b
y burning the retina (the
light-
sensitive portion at the back of the eye). Even if you cannot feel “heat” from a laser
beam, it can still potentially injure or blind you or your audien
ce. Even very small
amounts of laser light are potentially hazardous—
even at long distances. Laser eye
injuries can happen faster than you can blink.
DO NOT assume
that because laser entertainment products split the laser into hundreds
of beams and that th
e laser beam is scanned out in high speed, that an individual laser
beam is safe for eye exposure. This laser product uses dozens of milliwatts of laser
power (Class 3B levels internally) before it splits into multiple beams (Class 3R levels).
Many of the individual beams are potentially hazardous to the eyes.
DO NOT assume that because the laser light is moving, it is safe. Laser light is never without
risk, nor do the laser beams always move. Since eye injuries can occur instantly, it is critical
to prevent the possibility of ANY direct eye exposure. According to laser safety regulations
, it
is not legal to aim Class 3R lasers into areas where people can get exposed. Th
is is true
even if the laser is aimed below people’s faces, such as on a dance floor.
•Do not operate the laser without first reading and understanding all safety and
technical data in this manual.
•ALWAYS set up and install all laser effects so that all laser light is at least 3 meters
(9.8 feet) above the floor on which people can stand. See the Proper Usage section
of this manual.
•
After setup, and prior to public use, test laser to ensure proper function. Do not use if
any defect is detected.
•DO NOT use laser if the laser appears to be emitting only one or two beams, rather
than dozens/hundreds, as this could indicate damage to the diffraction grating optic,
and could allow emission of laser levels higher than Class 3R.
•DO NOT point lasers at people or animals.
•Never look into the laser aperture or laser beams.
•DO NOT point lasers into
areas in which people can potentially get exposed, such as
uncontrolled balconies, etc.
•DO NOT point lasers at highly reflective surfaces such as windows, mirrors, and
shiny metal. Even laser reflections can be hazardous.
•Never point a laser at aircraft; this is a U.S. federal offense.
•Never point un-terminated laser beams into the sky.
•Do not expose the output optic (aperture) to harsh cleaning chemicals.
•Do not use the laser if the housing is damaged, open, or if the optics appear
damaged in any way.
•Never open the laser housing. The high laser power levels inside of the protective
housing can start fires or burn skin, and will cause instant eye injury.
•Never leave this product running unattended.
•The operation of a Class 3R laser show is only allowed if the show is controlled by a
skilled and well-trained operator, familiar with the data included in this manual.
•The legal requirements for using laser entertainment products vary from country to
country. The user is responsible for the legal requirements in the location/country of
use.
CAUTION! DO NOT operate this device in ways not specified in this User Manual. Failure to follow
the instructions will void the warranty, may damage the product, or injure the user or the audience.
CAUTION! This product cannot be discarded with household waste. Contact your local waste
management service for electronic disposal regulations in your area.

(the master) to control
the actions of one or more Scorpion™ Dual
products (the slaves) without the need of a
DMX controller. The master will be set to operate in either Auto mode or Sound-Active
mode, while the slaves will be set to operate in Slave mode. Once set and connected,
the slaves will operate in unison with the master.

string configured for Master/Slave
